A small script using puppeteer to grab select profile data from any GitHub profile.

getGithubProfile.js

const puppeteer = require("puppeteer");

const crevulus = {};

async function getProfile(username) {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    // headless: false,
    defaultViewport: null,
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

  const url = `https://github.com/${username}`;

  await page.goto(url);

  await page.waitForSelector(".pinned-item-list-item");

  const results = await page.$eval(
    'div[itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"] .clearfix',
    (element) => {
      const image = element.querySelector(".position-relative a img").src;
      const name = element.querySelector(
        ".vcard-names-container h1 .vcard-fullname"
      ).innerText;

    }
  );

  return results;
